Gary Neville accuses UK government of 'terrifying nurses' during World Cup final

Gary Neville accused the UK government of 'terrifying nurses' as he compared its treatment to Qatar's human rights record.

The Manchester United legend used the World Cup Final to criticise the government's handling of striking workers. He was discussing how the tournament had drawn a spotlight on the Qatar's working practices and treatment of migrant workers through its Kafala system, the Mirror reports.

Tens of thousands of nurses went on strike across the UK on Thursday and they will strike again on Tuesday (December 20). The Royal College of Nursing is calling for a pay rise of five per cent above inflation and they are one of a number of groups of workers on strike across the UK in recent weeks, including rail workers.
